It could be 45 minutes long and i would love every second. Cliff Burton what a damn Legend May he RIP . I know he is shredding his Bass up in Valhalla and having a ice cold beer. Prolly surround by the hottest women you could ever think of as well .
Way back in the day, my friend and I used to lie on the hood of his car with this playing, look at the stars and talk about the universe. Coincidentally, that car was a 1986 Ford Orion.
@@ghost500e Didn't think of that. There's a town called Burton we could've got to as well, but I don't think it has any cliffs. What's odd about all this, is the fact that we were lying on an Orion, listening to Orion, and no doubt looking at the constellation Orion, was lost to us at the time. It's only in retrospect that I noticed the coincidence!
@@ghost500e Yeah those were the days. Long hair and leather jackets, bleached jeans, tatty tour t-shirts... I have so many Metallica stories because I was lead guitarist in a Metallica cover band back then. We never played in front of more than about 50 people, but spent a lot of time in the practice rooms of our local recording studio just jamming. We had this running joke where we would book in under a different name every time. I can't remember many of them but they were all Metallica puns like "The Phantom Lords", "The Metal Militia" and "The Leper Messiahs". Every week we pretended to have a blazing row about what we were called in the studio's reception. It must've looked like a scene from Spinal Tap. The lead singer was an amateur rally driver too. We used to drive through the woods on the outskirts of town in his engine-swapped mini, fitted with brakes he made himself, with the lights off, blasting a cassette of Kill 'em All that had been played so many times all the treble had faded. That was our favourite late-night driving music. Pedal to the metal to the thunderous beats of "Whiplash" and "Hit the Lights", with the ever-present threat of a fatal accident keeping our hearts racing. That mini had been wrapped around so many trees he could've entered it into the Chelsea flower show. It's a wonder we survived actually, and funny to think that we were the sort of reckless teenagers I now roll my eyes at. Then I had a very dark period of mental health issues, when I felt like I was spiralling into madness and depression, which seems to have been soundtracked by Master of Puppets (although I had no addiction), and great memories of being at college too, just starting to get politically minded, cynical and angry about government as most of us were at that age, and listening to 'Justice ten times a day, no doubt adding passion to my protestations. It's hard to explain, to those less lucky, what it's like to have a band like this that has been with you your whole life, reflected everything you have felt growing up, almost as if they were writing just for you, and provided that much needed sense of solidarity. Bands these days are so fleeting, and the music so commercial, that I can't imagine this happens very much any more. Yes, I still discover new music today, but it is Metallica's music that will live with me forever. Oh, and I once hit Lars with a bottle of piss.
I was fishing at a particularly crowded spot one evening in 1988.Wasn't getting a bite,so my friend and I smoked a bag of weed and put on a cassette of Master of Puppets.The weed made my ears so sensitive ,I was hearing the squeak of Lars' drum pedals.By the time Orion came on I jumped on the roof and was headbanging my arse off.It scared the fishermen around us off for some reason,I don't know why.But by that point I was too wasted to do anything but crawl back into the car and go to sleep.A great night.
I’m crying listening to this, hearing his comments, remembering the people with whom I bonded over this music... and they’re all gone now. I see their faces everywhere, in kids bobbing their heads to AirPods, the backs of vans being packed for college, study groups surrounded by empty coffee cups. Life happens, gets in the way, yet the music plays on, carrying the memories in every note, every beat, every silence. “How have I not heard this yet?!?” “I know, dude... D’ja wanna borrow this one?”
RIP Cliff Burton. HE was the masterpiece. It was Cliff that demanded the intrumentals that slowly crept into beating your head in with metal. Thats what truly made Metallica so different. It's like a rollercoaster that starts out smooth and fun then just starts dropping and hitting loops....then just throws you right out of the cart.
@@jesserobinson9600 i wish i could have seen them when he was still alive i dont think people really honestly know how good this guy was . How smart and prolific he was RIP Cliff Burton . The Goat
But, do the enhanced Bass version, it adds SOOOO much more with audible bass guitar! That song is literally a tribute to Cliff. The main riff was the last riff he composed just brfore he died, the song has stages of grief over his death... Also, it cuts off short just like his life was cut off short, so young! Cliff had THAT much talent at 24, imagine once he matured!!!

It's almost fitting that you happened to choose Damage INC. for the second song. It follows Orion on the album and they are the last two recordings to feature Cliff Burton on a Metallica album. Orion - Cliff's final masterpiece he left to this world. Damage INC. - Cliff's farewell.
Heh, kind of brilliant on their part, arranging the album that way lets them show off in epic fashion. It's like "Ok, let's show you the band that can do this (Orion)... can also do THIS (Damage Inc.)"
@@Dragon-Believer YES!!! Finally agreement. That was my song and pits were my life. Scarred and missing teeth. For three decades. Saved a lot of people's lives having that outlet to violence.
Lord help you is someone cuts you off (and the person who cuts you off as well) while listening to this...horrible and regrettable road rage is likely to ensue...
Splendid reaction! Just brought a huge grin grown smile and some yelps+hollers from me throughout enjoying the sight and ponderances of your first listen. Welcome in and congratulations!
I was 16 the first time I listened to this "master piece" back in Mexico, I'd bought in in Tucson, my friends worshiped me for 2 years for being the only one having this LP! Hahahahah! those records were not sold here back in the day! Thanks for the memories!
Cliff's bass is featured at the beginning of Orion (that is what leads the song in), then at (in this video) 2:11, obviously at 4:28, then at 7:04. And in Damage Inc, the opening of the song is Cliff's bass.
I really love you reviewing this stuff man. I feel like Im sitting there next to you listening too. Cheers! My favorite Metallica songs are the instrumentals. That when they really show off what they can do.
Orion, imho, is one of their best musical creations. When I first heard it my first thought was that the sound engineer hit record while they were just jamming out in the studio. Only to later find out that it was written by the late Cliff Burton. R.I.P. Cliff and thank you for such an amazing musical masterpiece.
You hit the nail on the head with your “trying to tell a story without lyrics” comments. Kirk used to talk about how he wanted to make his guitar “cry” and in the early days James was uncomfortable with his voice and said the guitar would “do the singing”. Nice video.
THIS song...THIS is the song that my hockey team would play in the locker room just before coming out on the ice. The ENTIRE team would sing along (as best as we could, which wasnt😂), then as we got to the “Damage Inc” part we’d ALL sing it...and LOUD! You’d be surprised at how intimidating that can be to a group of kids in a nearby locker room to be hearing! 😂🤣🤟😎☠️
0rion gets me feeling like when you climb to the top of a mountain and you turn around to look at the views and the wind is blowing in your face and you take a deep breath!
Please please react to gamma the song Voyager the studio version it's about a man who took the journey on a spaceship but to me it's another climb a mountain and breath song I guarantee you you will put it on your playlist ps your family is adorable and I'm glad you're sharing this adventure with them!
I heard this for the first time when I was around 13 or so.... And to this day almost 30 years later every time I hear it feels better than the last time because I feel like I hear something new and different each time I listen to it. True work of musical art.
Damage sounds great on my Infinity SM 152's driven by a Carver TFM-35, feed with a Yamaha CDC-835. The Yamaha is 118 S/N ( the avg human ear can perceive to about 115 S/N ) , the purest sound you've ever heard. The Carver amp is .01% THD and drives the 152's to about 315w per channel. This is so loud and clean your brain can barely comprehend it. Oddly enough It does not hurt or damage your ears, it is the way Metallica is meant to be experienced, until you've done this you will not know the unbelievable rush it gives you. This is about 140 SPL at 1 meter from the speaker, it literally vibrates your entire chest cavity, an experience like being in the front row of the concert !!
I'm in a mellow mood so I'm going to listen to some Metallica off of master of puppets. I LOVE seeing people experiencing Orion for the first time. And then to follow it up with damage Inc! Awesome dude. It seems like we can never get reaction channels to try damage and it's such a brutal masterpiece. So glad you did that. What other Metallica songs can I suggest? Ummm, I dunno... all of em. (Except st anger of course)
BTW, for you new Metallica fans, please remember heavy metal got big with virtually NO radio time. It was mostly underground. In the 80's in the Chicago area, we had Z-Rock until it was taken off the air. I heard it was taken off the air because one of the slogans was "Z-rock kicks ass" and you couldn't say "ass" on the radio in the mid-80's. Slayer, Metallica, Megadeath, ACDC... all of them got big cuz we made copies of our cassette tapes for each other.
@@kirbysucks5001 yea, nothing really played rock. I don't remember any stations that would have played that. It really wasn't mainstream yet. We learned things by word-of-mouth and at the record store.
KirbyLiterallySucks ya know, i take that back. They likely played ACDC on the Loop but i guess i dont remember getting to run and turn up the volume cuz their new hit was getting tons of airplay like other genre
The intro to damage inc reminds me of the Carolinas and Georgia. Long drives down to Florida with this album on repeat on my discman in the back of the family car has given me some weird associative memories.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Please consider doing their "To Live Is To Die". Another beautiful instrumental. It's done with Cliff in mind. I believe some of his past riff ideas were incorporated into this awesome track. Hey, an idea! Since you've done "Orion," perhaps we could see Miss T do this one? Or both? Thanks!
2x bangers right there. After dark suggestion with a nice drink: (dim the lights too) Judas Priest’s album “Nostradamus”. A lot of people don’t like this album because it’s quite theatrical and long, but they just haven’t listened right. One night when you’re nice and free, turn down the lights, sit back with a few cold ones, and listen to that album LOUD via high quality headphones or stereo. 👌🏼
My first cassette when I was 9-10 was AJFA, on it was To live is to die. I loved the instrumental and it wasn’t until some time later I learned about Orion. I loved the flavor of the instrumentals reminds me of the way the great classical artists made music.
Those are two very last songs Metallica did with them legendary bassist, Mr. Cliff Burton At the Orion's interlude, James Hetfield is playing the harmonizing guitar solo. In meanwhile, the bass' intro for Damage, Inc. is inspired by "Come Sweet Death", by John Sebastian Bach
I've always said I want Orion played at my funeral. Hopefully that won't be for another 50 or 60 year as I've always said I hope to make it to 100 and I'm 41 lol. Love these reaction videos.
I was 17 when this came out, i was pissed off, but this album distracted me and helped straighten things out. Sounds silly? Maybe it was a type of "Ritalin". That Screwdriver looks nice and strong. I've got 20 of a 32ounce ice cold Miller High Life inside me right now, along with 2 shots of (ice cold) Capn Morgan.
Cliff Burton. Bass. Nothing else needs to be said. ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾 The reason I say that is because he was the real star on this album. His bass comes through on EVERY song.
That song let me feel that album cover image. 'All Dead, but still fighting to live' 'Fighting against the emptiness (dead)of a fully controlled system , making you believe they'are dead, but they aren't .. .for some....
Haven't finished watching yet but I am very excited by this reaction because it's my two favourite tracks from my favourite Metallica album! Yes please! I just finished browsing through all of your past uploads and I noted a distinct lack of Super Junior, Finger Eleven and Within Temptation - please remedy this, lol. I'm especially curious to see your wife and/or Momma C react to Within Temptation (warning angelic vocals set to incredible goth metal/hard rock guitar music plus lead singer Sharon den Adel is incredibly beautiful. Best of all her insides match the outside; she's a wonderful person. Within Temptation has done some interesting collabs with singers from other bands, as well, which are worth checking out.). I'm subscribed because I enjoy the reaction styles of this channel; that you pay attention, think about what you just listened to and are honest in your feedback. Back on topic (sort of) fun fact: I once named my two female kittens Orion and Ktulu (Ride The Lightning album) after Metallica instrumentals because my kittens didn't have words either but could make their feelings understood just like the music in those songs. ~FM :)
Every time I listen to or hear anything from the masterpiece " Master" it takes me back to Solna hallen -86,and I see Cliff banging his head to Damage inc. and just plays bass as an artist paints paintings. I was shaking when he played Orion then, and I shudder every time I hear it now.
I was anti metal for a bit...cause I loved punk...it was listening to AC/DC and Metallica that swayed me to metal...than Anthrax solidified my love for metal...of course Megadeth...than Slayer...list goes on...my first real love of Metallica was Ride the Lightning...Creeping Death and Master is like .00000001 behind....Disposable Heroes and Damage Inc still grabs me by the private’s and makes me mosh at 52 now
I've been listening to Metallica since I was 15. I'm now 36. Been playing guitar that long too. Why has it never occurred to me that Cliff was playing a bass solo at 7:06? How have I never noticed that! I guess his playing was just so fluid and the tone was such that I thought it was an underlying guitar solo accompanying Kirk's solo. Just wow. Like I was hearing it for the first time at that point lol
Annihilator, Testament, overkill, sacred reich, intruder, DRI, Metal Church, death angel, xentrix, exodus, anthrax (fistful of metal), nuclear assault, demolition hammer and whiplash all have stellar relatively popular old school thrash songs that people would love to see a reaction with!
That middle chilled out section of Orion could easily be transplanted into a different orchestration of strings, horns, and woodwinds, and would pass for a classical composition. Maybe a little more ornamentation here or there, but it's like an exploration of theme and variation.
Orion is my favorite Metallica song, my favorite metal instrumental, and my favorite rock/metal song composed during the decade of the 80's. It is an absolutely sublime piece of work from start to finish and every note, every harmony, every tempo change... is perfectly placed. It takes me to another dimension. Beethoven himself could have composed this. I just run out of superlatives when talking about this monumental work of art.
Some great Cliff Burton (bass) moments on the ORION track. 2:12 to 2:42 Cliff showing you the riff to come on overdriven bass. At 4:28 Cliff breaks (and slows) it down. 7:05 to 7:24 is a bass solo in the mix of the guitar solos towards the end of the track. Interesting opening by Cliff on DAMAGE INC. RIP Cliff.
Ah, Metallica's Orion... the shortest eight and a half minutes in heavy metal.
LOL... but yeah... can't disagree with ya, it does fly by !
Couldn't agree more. Time flies during that song.
It could be 45 minutes long and i would love every second. Cliff Burton what a damn Legend May he RIP . I know he is shredding his Bass up in Valhalla and having a ice cold beer. Prolly surround by the hottest women you could ever think of as well .
best description ever
@@carlbutcher9854 Totally agree! The best song ever written by Metallica. Superb bass lines by the late Cliff Burton, may he rest in peace.
I love listening to this when I'm driving. RIP Cliff Burton
Way back in the day, my friend and I used to lie on the hood of his car with this playing, look at the stars and talk about the universe. Coincidentally, that car was a 1986 Ford Orion.
What a perfect way to listen to this song 👌🏼
@@ghost500e Didn't think of that. There's a town called Burton we could've got to as well, but I don't think it has any cliffs. What's odd about all this, is the fact that we were lying on an Orion, listening to Orion, and no doubt looking at the constellation Orion, was lost to us at the time. It's only in retrospect that I noticed the coincidence!
@@ghost500e Yeah those were the days. Long hair and leather jackets, bleached jeans, tatty tour t-shirts... I have so many Metallica stories because I was lead guitarist in a Metallica cover band back then. We never played in front of more than about 50 people, but spent a lot of time in the practice rooms of our local recording studio just jamming.
We had this running joke where we would book in under a different name every time. I can't remember many of them but they were all Metallica puns like "The Phantom Lords", "The Metal Militia" and "The Leper Messiahs". Every week we pretended to have a blazing row about what we were called in the studio's reception. It must've looked like a scene from Spinal Tap.
The lead singer was an amateur rally driver too. We used to drive through the woods on the outskirts of town in his engine-swapped mini, fitted with brakes he made himself, with the lights off, blasting a cassette of Kill 'em All that had been played so many times all the treble had faded. That was our favourite late-night driving music. Pedal to the metal to the thunderous beats of "Whiplash" and "Hit the Lights", with the ever-present threat of a fatal accident keeping our hearts racing. That mini had been wrapped around so many trees he could've entered it into the Chelsea flower show. It's a wonder we survived actually, and funny to think that we were the sort of reckless teenagers I now roll my eyes at.
Then I had a very dark period of mental health issues, when I felt like I was spiralling into madness and depression, which seems to have been soundtracked by Master of Puppets (although I had no addiction), and great memories of being at college too, just starting to get politically minded, cynical and angry about government as most of us were at that age, and listening to 'Justice ten times a day, no doubt adding passion to my protestations.
It's hard to explain, to those less lucky, what it's like to have a band like this that has been with you your whole life, reflected everything you have felt growing up, almost as if they were writing just for you, and provided that much needed sense of solidarity. Bands these days are so fleeting, and the music so commercial, that I can't imagine this happens very much any more. Yes, I still discover new music today, but it is Metallica's music that will live with me forever.
Oh, and I once hit Lars with a bottle of piss.

DAMAGE INC
Dealing out the agony within
Charging hard and no one's gonna give in
Living on your knees, conformity
Or dying on your feet for honesty
Inbred, our bodies work as one
Bloody, but never cry submission
Following our instinct not a trend
Go against the grain until the end
Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage Incorporated
Slamming through, don't fuck with razorback
Stepping out you'll feel our hell on your back
Blood follows blood and we make sure
Life ain't for you and we're the cure
Honesty is my only excuse
Try to rob us of it, but it's no use
Steamroller action crushing all
Victim is your name and you shall fall
Blood will follow blood
Dying time is here
Damage Incorporated
We chew and spit you out
We laugh, you scream and shout
All flee, with fear you run
You'll know just where we come from

Damage jackals ripping right through you
Sight and smell of this, it gets me goin'
Know just how to get just what we want
Tear it from your soul in nightly hunt
Fuck it all and fucking no regrets
Never happy ending on these dark sets
All's fair for Damage Inc. you see
Step a little closer if you please
Blood will follow blood
Dying, dying time is here

Good example of why metal was occasionally linked to classical baroque. The instruments, alone, can tell a tailor-made emotional story.
That was Cliff's swansong. And my reason for playing Bass.

“It almost felt like it wasn’t long enough.”

I've always felt Orion was just extra long intro for Damage Inc.
Am enjoying a cocktail as well.
Cheers T! Love the channel. Now for some Orion from TallicA
That bit where cliff plays the bass like a flamenco guitar though 😓
Miss you cliff 🔥🔥🔥
30 odd years later and I still get goosebumps during that Damage Inc solo! Classic
Orion to me is basically metallica meets mozart
Metal and classical music fused together
It feels more like Metal meets Beethoven to me, but point taken. It's metal and classical fused together for sure.
I heard this for the first time when I was around 13 or so.... And to this day almost 30 years later every time I hear it feels better than the last time because I feel like I hear something new and different each time I listen to it. True work of musical art.

ah the genius and talent of cliff burton ,rest in peace dude
Catchiest riff in Orion is the finger picked distorted bass. Love it
Damage sounds great on my Infinity SM 152's driven by a Carver TFM-35, feed with a Yamaha CDC-835. The Yamaha is 118 S/N ( the avg human ear can perceive to about 115 S/N ) , the purest sound you've ever heard. The Carver amp is .01% THD and drives the 152's to about 315w per channel. This is so loud and clean your brain can barely comprehend it. Oddly enough It does not hurt or damage your ears, it is the way Metallica is meant to be experienced, until you've done this you will not know the unbelievable rush it gives you. This is about 140 SPL at 1 meter from the speaker, it literally vibrates your entire chest cavity, an experience like being in the front row of the concert !!
“I just need to come back relax, and chill out”....Puts in Damage Inc. 😆
I'm loving your reaction to this classic Metallica Masterpiece man, Orion, Disposable Heroes, this band is truly Legendary!
I'm in a mellow mood so I'm going to listen to some Metallica off of master of puppets.
I LOVE seeing people experiencing Orion for the first time. And then to follow it up with damage Inc! Awesome dude. It seems like we can never get reaction channels to try damage and it's such a brutal masterpiece. So glad you did that.
What other Metallica songs can I suggest?
Ummm, I dunno... all of em. (Except st anger of course)
Wow A hip-hop Rap fan... Understand musicians and music can drive the music and lead the emotions of the song...Love it:):)
Nice one TnT. One of the finest..no the best rock instrumental masterpiece of all time! Followed up with another classic from Metallica!
Just catching up with you catching up great reactions great channel keep them coming
BTW, for you new Metallica fans, please remember heavy metal got big with virtually NO radio time. It was mostly underground. In the 80's in the Chicago area, we had Z-Rock until it was taken off the air. I heard it was taken off the air because one of the slogans was "Z-rock kicks ass" and you couldn't say "ass" on the radio in the mid-80's. Slayer, Metallica, Megadeath, ACDC... all of them got big cuz we made copies of our cassette tapes for each other.
Wow even AC/DC?
@@kirbysucks5001 yea, nothing really played rock. I don't remember any stations that would have played that. It really wasn't mainstream yet. We learned things by word-of-mouth and at the record store.
KirbyLiterallySucks ya know, i take that back. They likely played ACDC on the Loop but i guess i dont remember getting to run and turn up the volume cuz their new hit was getting tons of airplay like other genre
This is my favorite song...the way you started the video saying this is what you needed....well you did man
"Bleeding Me" & "The Outlaw Torn"
Alan Lovejoy these are such amazing hidden gems. Outlaw Torn is in my top 10 favorite Metallica songs. Along with it's cousin Fixxxer
Bleeding Me is hands down my favorite song, by anyone.
Welcome to the world of metal. Please remember any Metallica song is a journey through music with vocals being an added bonus. Salute 07
I did grap my bud thank you🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘Perfect combo bud and some Metalica
I love your channel man. I'm hooked. Keep up the good work my man!
I'd love to send you one of my tunes and see what you think
This guy is listening to Cliff Burton's magnum opus, and his appreciation for this masterpiece is sincere.
The intro to damage inc reminds me of the Carolinas and Georgia. Long drives down to Florida with this album on repeat on my discman in the back of the family car has given me some weird associative memories.
Damage inc is their best track, been saying it forever!
Disposable heroes is fire! You should also react to blackened, and justice for all, eye of the beholder, through the never!!!!
i have been waiting for this reaction
This song is a masterpiece
@@TheAdventuresofTNT can be said about many, many, many of their songs. ;)
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Please consider doing their
"To Live Is To Die".
Another beautiful instrumental.
It's done with Cliff in mind. I believe some of his past riff ideas were incorporated into this awesome track.
Hey, an idea! Since you've done "Orion," perhaps we could see Miss T do this one? Or both?
Thanks!
Damage Inc. has always been my go to date music .
Hmm I just realized, maybe that is why I am twice divorced.
2x bangers right there.
After dark suggestion with a nice drink: (dim the lights too) Judas Priest’s album “Nostradamus”.
A lot of people don’t like this album because it’s quite theatrical and long, but they just haven’t listened right.
One night when you’re nice and free, turn down the lights, sit back with a few cold ones, and listen to that album LOUD via high quality headphones or stereo. 👌🏼
One of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
I had a very nice time listening to this with you and had three drinks jamming with you. Thank you, and have a great day.
My first cassette when I was 9-10 was AJFA, on it was To live is to die. I loved the instrumental and it wasn’t until some time later I learned about Orion. I loved the flavor of the instrumentals reminds me of the way the great classical artists made music.
One of my favourites and greatest of all time! Cheers man.
Those are two very last songs Metallica did with them legendary bassist, Mr. Cliff Burton
At the Orion's interlude, James Hetfield is playing the harmonizing guitar solo. In meanwhile, the bass' intro for Damage, Inc. is inspired by "Come Sweet Death", by John Sebastian Bach
I was shocked when I learned that Cliff played the intro to Damage Inc. That was all bass. RIP Cliff.
I used to listen to this track before every football game I played. It gets you so hyped!
Glad to see you do different videos other than main ones like other reaction videos.
I've always said I want Orion played at my funeral. Hopefully that won't be for another 50 or 60 year as I've always said I hope to make it to 100 and I'm 41 lol. Love these reaction videos.
You picked two good ones from this album as well as one of my favorite drinks as well cheers!
Got to see this tour, Unbelievable!
1986 what a period to live in... Master of Puppets and Peace Sells the same year !!!
Tristan Kerkhove Damn right it was
I was 17 when this came out, i was pissed off, but this album distracted me and helped straighten things out.
Sounds silly? Maybe it was a type of "Ritalin".
That Screwdriver looks nice and strong. I've got 20 of a 32ounce ice cold Miller High Life inside me right now, along with 2 shots of (ice cold) Capn Morgan.
Best bass Intro to any song I've ever heard
Cliff Burton. Bass. Nothing else needs to be said. ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾 The reason I say that is because he was the real star on this album. His bass comes through on EVERY song.
That song let me feel that album cover image. 'All Dead, but still fighting to live' 'Fighting against the emptiness (dead)of a fully controlled system , making you believe they'are dead, but they aren't .. .for some....
Hey, Im sitting here late at night with a big pot of coffee. Jamming out to this. Cheers!
Everything they did up to black was amazing. Fuel and beyond... i can take it or leave it! They're fallen gods.
... since 1986 when I bought the master of puppets cassette ... I have not had a face... .. I am a casualty of Damage inc. .
Cliff Burton master of the bass solo
I’m smokin wit ya!!! This was my jam back in the day. Hell. This is still my jam 😂😂👌
It always will be my jam . I'm a child of the 80s I love the entire album
Machine Head, Burn My Eyes album, "Davidian"
Haven't finished watching yet but I am very excited by this reaction because it's my two favourite tracks from my favourite Metallica album! Yes please! I just finished browsing through all of your past uploads and I noted a distinct lack of Super Junior, Finger Eleven and Within Temptation - please remedy this, lol.
I'm especially curious to see your wife and/or Momma C react to Within Temptation (warning angelic vocals set to incredible goth metal/hard rock guitar music plus lead singer Sharon den Adel is incredibly beautiful. Best of all her insides match the outside; she's a wonderful person. Within Temptation has done some interesting collabs with singers from other bands, as well, which are worth checking out.).
I'm subscribed because I enjoy the reaction styles of this channel; that you pay attention, think about what you just listened to and are honest in your feedback.
Back on topic (sort of) fun fact: I once named my two female kittens Orion and Ktulu (Ride The Lightning album) after Metallica instrumentals because my kittens didn't have words either but could make their feelings understood just like the music in those songs.
~FM :)
Every time I listen to or hear anything from the masterpiece " Master" it takes me back to Solna hallen -86,and I see Cliff banging his head to Damage inc. and just plays bass as an artist paints paintings. I was shaking when he played Orion then, and I shudder every time I hear it now.
I remember the day this album came out and it's still going strong. RIP Cliff.
I was anti metal for a bit...cause I loved punk...it was listening to AC/DC and Metallica that swayed me to metal...than Anthrax solidified my love for metal...of course Megadeth...than Slayer...list goes on...my first real love of Metallica was Ride the Lightning...Creeping Death and Master is like .00000001 behind....Disposable Heroes and Damage Inc still grabs me by the private’s and makes me mosh at 52 now
I've been listening to Metallica since I was 15. I'm now 36. Been playing guitar that long too. Why has it never occurred to me that Cliff was playing a bass solo at 7:06? How have I never noticed that! I guess his playing was just so fluid and the tone was such that I thought it was an underlying guitar solo accompanying Kirk's solo. Just wow. Like I was hearing it for the first time at that point lol
Annihilator, Testament, overkill, sacred reich, intruder, DRI, Metal Church, death angel, xentrix, exodus, anthrax (fistful of metal), nuclear assault, demolition hammer and whiplash all have stellar relatively popular old school thrash songs that people would love to see a reaction with!
That middle chilled out section of Orion could easily be transplanted into a different orchestration of strings, horns, and woodwinds, and would pass for a classical composition. Maybe a little more ornamentation here or there, but it's like an exploration of theme and variation.
Cliff's solo at the 7' 04" mark is just so great, how it leads back to the main riff. Damn.
Pretty tall
Orion is my favorite Metallica song, my favorite metal instrumental, and my favorite rock/metal song composed during the decade of the 80's. It is an absolutely sublime piece of work from start to finish and every note, every harmony, every tempo change... is perfectly placed. It takes me to another dimension. Beethoven himself could have composed this. I just run out of superlatives when talking about this monumental work of art.
Damage inc is the truest get pumped up for the day song!
Some great Cliff Burton (bass) moments on the ORION track. 2:12 to 2:42 Cliff showing you the riff to come on overdriven bass. At 4:28 Cliff breaks (and slows) it down. 7:05 to 7:24 is a bass solo in the mix of the guitar solos towards the end of the track. Interesting opening by Cliff on DAMAGE INC. RIP Cliff.
Hell yeah!!! Damage Inc. is one of my favorite Metallica songs!
